Yay for Friday!!!!!!! Wooohoooo!!!! Is anyone else as excited about this weekend as I am?
Friday means I get to link up with Doodlebugs Teaching for her Five for Friday.
1. First, don't forget to enter my 1000 Follower Giveaway. You guys are awesome and there are some really great prizes you can win! Click the picture below to go enter. You only have till Saturday night so don't miss out.
2. Last Sunday, we went hiking. It was beautiful and the kids had a blast. I may throw a few extra pics here so excuse me if I go over 5!
We hiked to some old bunkers and there was some really good art work up there. Even though it was graffiti, it was pretty good!
3. I had another butterfly hatch! I have 3 chrysalis left. This poor butterfly fell from the top of the container and couldn't get up. His wings were still wet. We put him outside and he finally found a safe spot that he would stay put in until his wings dried. So glad he made it.
4. We've been working on problem solving in my class. More to come on that in a later post. We're getting better at drawing the pictures for the problem but a long way to go for the equation.
5. We had a school assembly this week. The new teachers (2 of us) were welcomed to the school with a lei in the school colors (brown and yellow). Pretty cool, huh?
Can't wait to see everyone else's Five for Friday!
Hiking was my favorite part of my vacation to Hawaii! So much fun and beautiful views. Love the lei!

Where did you guys hike? It looks similar to Koko Head. You will love getting leis for every occasion. I still love it:)

We went hiking to the pillboxes at Lani Kai. Where's Koko Head? We'll have to go check that out next. We still haven't made it up to Waimea Falls but need to do that soon.

Those pictures are gorgeous! Again, I wish I lived there (especially right now, we just got a ton of snow in New Jersey and I'm about to go shovel...)
ReplyDeleteThose word problems are tough at any age, I think! I like the anchor chart though =) Congrats on the lei, how nice!

Aloha and welcome to Hawaii! Get used to getting leis for special occasions. I'm also a special education teacher on Oahu. I live in Aiea and teach at Maili Elementary School, which is on the Leeward Coast between Nanakuli and Waianae. Are you stationed at Kaneohe Bay? Where are you teaching at? I'm teaching fifth grade this year, but have taught every grade from preschool through sixth at my school and taught kindergarten through twelfth grade in Idaho and Michigan. Your blog looks interesting and I will definitely be following it as any resources are welcome to me :-). I found you via Pinterest and will definitely be looking at your stuff on TPT.
